Joe Pug has no illusions about his place in the world of contemporary pop music. <br>
<br>
At his strong Sunday night show at The Bartlett, he delivered a litany of self-deprecating asides between songs. He described his recently released <i>Windfall</i> album, tongue firmly in cheek, as "taking the country by storm" and as the favorite album of 2015, according to Fox News blowhard Sean Hannity.…

Oh, hey there Suds and Cinema lovers. We just wanted to let you know that the next installment of our venerable beer-meets-awesome-movies series is in response to the many, many loyal fans who asked us to bring back one of last year's films...<a href="http://www.inlander.com/spokane/suds-and-cinema-the-big-lebowski/Content?oid=2432806" target="_blank">and that film is <i>The Big Lebowski</i>.</a><i><br>
<br></i>Last year, we had one hell of a night at the Bing Crosby Theater when we screened the film to almost 700 folks, many of whom were dressed in the costume of their favorite characters.…

It's good to see you survived the night, Zag Nation. That was a tough one and some of you are still likely feeling a bit of a sting after seeing Gonzaga's season end yesterday afternoon with a 66-52 loss to Duke.<br>
<br>
What you're feeling is the reality that unless you cut down the nets in the Final Four, every team that makes the NCAA tournament ends its season with a loss.…

Yesterday evening, Gonzaga clawed their way to a hard-fought victory over UCLA to punch a ticket to the program's first Elite Eight since the program's Cinderella run in 1999.<br>
<br>
The game, played inside what felt like the <a href="http://nrgpark.com/nrg-stadium" target="_blank">largest building on the planet</a>, was marked by poor outside shooting by both teams, but gave us a Gonzaga team that knows how to grind out a win when they need to. Thanks to Przemek Karnowski's 18 points, the Zags knocked off UCLA.…

Five-on-five, the sixth-ranked Tennessee Lady Vols are better than the unranked <a href="http://www.inlander.com/spokane/bringing-it-home/Content?oid=2432715" target="_blank">Gonzaga Bulldogs</a>. That’s why the GU women are counting on about 9,000 of their friends to help them out Saturday afternoon when Tennessee and the Zags tangle at the Spokane Arena in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament.<br>
<br>
“We’re so fortunate to have the support here,” Gonzaga forward Sunny Greinacher said at a Friday afternoon press conference in the arena.<br>
<br>
“Our fans are amazing to us,” guard Keani Albanez added, “and to be able to play in front of those fans again, that just means to world to me.”<br>
<br>
The Bulldogs, who had to hold their breath to find out if they would even be picked to play in the NCAA tournament, went 2-0 on the opening weekend of play to earn the right to play at least one more game in Spokane.<br>
<br>
The Bulldogs are 26-7 and seeded 11th in the 16-team Spokane Region.…

I know a lot of you will be hunkering down to watch the Gonzaga Sweet 16 game this afternoon, but that's only a couple of hours of your day. You'll want to peruse our <a href="http://www.inlander.com/spokane/EventSearch" target="_blank">event listings</a> and <a href="http://www.inlander.com/spokane/EventSearch?feature=Staff%20Pick" target="_blank">Staff Picks</a> for tips on how to fill the rest of your fine Friday. <br>
<br>
Here are a few highlights I saw for Friday, March 27: <br>

Because college basketball seasons are long enough to span two calendar years, let us remind you that Gonzaga has already played UCLA this season. And they already beat them, too.<br>
<br>
Yeah, it seems forever ago when a Gonzaga team, one week after a soul-crushing, almost-had-it loss to Arizona, strutted onto the floor of Pauley Pavillion, one of the most hallowed halls in all of college hoops, and soundly crushed UCLA.…

<br>
Today, the Idaho House of Representatives <a href="http://www.inlander.com/spokane/when-a-horse-isnt-a-horse/Content?oid=2405921" target="_blank">voted 49-21 to send a bill</a> to the governor repealing the law that legalized "historical horse race" machines. <br>
<br>
By the end, Greyhound Park Event Center manager Doug Okuniewicz, after arguing that Idaho's "historical horse racing" machines were significantly different than casino slot machines, shifted tactics. <br>
<br>
Okuniewicz began arguing that the machines were <i>so </i>similar to the "tribal gaming" slot-style bingo machines on the Idaho's American Indian reservations, as for the state's ban on <a href="http://legislature.idaho.gov/idstat/IC/ArtIIISect20.htm" target="_blank">imitation slot-machines </a>to apply to both types. <br>

Typically, the return of an American soldier from enemy captivity doesn't become a bitter partisan issue.

<br>
As we <a href="http://www.inlander.com/spokane/big-boom/Content?oid=2428682" target="_blank">wrote in last week’s paper</a>, the Washington State Legislature is currently considering two competing bills meant to address the safety concerns presented by the influx of oil trains passing through Washington in recent years. Spokane, which is the only urban center these trains pass through on their way to western Washington, faces particular risks if one these trains were to derail and explode.<br>
<br>
Each bill would require varying degrees of transparency for rail companies that transport oil through the state so that first-responders would be better prepared in the event of a disaster.…

Tyler Harvey, who has progressed from walk-on <a href="http://www.inlander.com/Bloglander/archives/2015/03/12/tyler-harvey-drops-42-in-ewus-win-just-after-he-tells-the-nation-why-hes-its-leading-scorer" target="_blank">to national scoring leader at Eastern Washington</a>, will explore his NBA options before deciding whether to return for his senior season with the Eagles.<br>
<br>
Eastern coach Jim Hayford told the<i> Inlander</i> on Wednesday afternoon that Harvey will seek an evaluation of his draft status from the NBA next month before making a decision.<br>
<br>
“His plans at this time are to return to Eastern,” Hayford said.<br>
<br>
Harvey’s decision could be complicated if Hayford does not return. Hayford may draw interest from other schools after guiding the Eagles to a 26-9 season, regular-season (shared) and tournament titles in the Big Sky Conference and the second NCAA tournament appearance in school history.<br>
<br>
Asked if he’s been pursued by any schools, Hayford would only say, “I love the job I have right now.…
